Four Corners

John Allen and wife of Kankakee, 111,, Sundayed with bis father and mother, E, W. Allen and wife. The dance given at Wheatfield Saturday night was not a success financially.

Andrew Knapp and best girl, Susie Jessup, visited with our old friend Louis Shirer and wife of near Blackford and attended the annual meeting of the Brethren. Jasperson Bros., are unable to get hands to run their hay press, and lor that reason are idle. Never in this section of Jasper were hands so scarce. Chas. Peregrine, our progressive merchant and stockman, has purchased 160 acres more land in Northeast Walker. E. W. Allen was the man who received the commission.

Fisher, son Orvel and Joe Fenzel returned Saturday night from their cowboy expedition, all worn out in body and resolved to retire from such a strenuous life, all except Joe who, after a few trials with a lasso, was able to conquer an angry bull and ride him triumphantly through town; he now wishes to join a wild west show. John T. Biggs received a telegram Sunday stating that his younges t brother, Marshal Biggs, died in Memphis Tenn., while undergoing an operation in a hospital in that city, and that the remains would arrive at Medaryville for burial Tuesday. The friends have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. We heard of an editor of northern Indiana who was in the habit of peeping behind the prescription case of a Rensselaer drng store. On his last visit to that city, which was after the town went dry, he was informed that be would be obliged to see a doctor first and get a prescription for snake bite. He was greatly offended and refused the sympathy of his friends. We hear it rumored that some of the teachers of north Jasper are in the habit of contributing money to purchase some article and then play cards for same. Now we would very much dislike to name them or see them get into trouble over this act, which should never be indulged in by anyone and much less by one who is engaged in our public schools. It is gambling and nothing less whether it be merchandise or cash that the players win.
